: I would like someone to get in touch with me by email on Topamax for headaches. My doctor just put me on it and I have not started it yet I am afraid of side effects, I have tried everything under the sun to prevent my headaches, and found the side effects worse then the headache. Please give me some encouraging results so I can make myself try this drug, I have a headache every single day now for 2 years. Any imformation encouraging would be appriciated. Thanks, Angie

My brother's wife had been suffering from migraines for months and was prescribed Topamax. She took a 100 mg dose on an empty stomach before bedtime on October 16th and never woke up. The autopsy results showed no abnormalities. Women who suffer from migraines want relief without weight gain and are being prescribed this drug.My sister in law was in exceptional health (except for migraines) and was 56 years old. Please be careful!!!!
